Katie Chubb aims to establish a birth center in Augusta, Georgia, where maternal and infant mortality rates are alarmingly high. This center would provide a home-like environment to offer safe birth options managed primarily by midwives. Despite community support and investment offers, persistent obstacles hinder progress. Increasing distrust in medical institutions leads some, like Clarissa Viens, to seek alternatives; however, the absence of a birth center forced her to give birth at home, resulting in a critical situation. Advocates stress the necessity of addressing the healthcare gaps in maternal care.
Katie Chubb, a community organizer in Georgia, highlights the urgent need for a birth center to combat the high rates of maternal and infant mortality in the region. The lack of alternative birthing options contributes to this issue.
Clarissa Viens emphasizes the benefits of giving birth in a birth center, stating that being in a relaxed environment improves outcomes for newborns, illustrating the shortcomings of hospital births.
